Hello Friends,  
I have a requirement where I want to have a dynamic url for e.g

[http://localhost:3000/company\_name](http://localhost:3000/company_name)

map.my\_company\_link’ ‘/:company\_link’,  
:controller =\> “companies”,  
:action =\> “show”,  
:requirements =\> {:company\_link’ =\> /[\w.]+/}

This works very fine.

But the complication is that now all request is going towards \*companies  
controller \*and _show action_, I know basically whats the problem Not  
not  
able to get the proper solution.

Please let me know if any one else faced the same issue.

Thanks  
Abhis

ok

map.connect ‘/:company\_link’,  
:controller =\> “companies”,  
:action =\> “show”,  
:requirements =\> {:company\_link’ =\> /[\w.]+/}

This worked for me 🙂

Thanks
